And I will say President Tinubu should declare him a president posthumously.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSince Abiola won, his picture should be placed among Nigeria\u2019s past presidents. I commend former President Buhari for giving him a national honour, but I also appeal to President Tinubu to officially recognise him and place his image where it belongs. This would help bring succor to his family\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about former President Ibrahim Babangida\u2019s memoirs, Senator Kalu described them as incomplete, urging the former military leader to publish a second volume that would address unanswered questions surrounding the annulment of the June 12 election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI look forward to the second edition of Babangida\u2019s book because the first did not reveal all the realities. I was present during the events of June 12, and I know what happened. Babangida should call out the names of those responsible for preventing the election declaration,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This comes after former military president Ibrahim Babangida admitted in his memoir that Abiola won the June 12, 1993, presidential election Senator Orji Kalu has urged President Bola Tinubu to recognise Moshood Abiola as a former president of Nigeria.
